The Laboratory was asked to undertake an investigation of the loading of road vehicles onto ferry trains and to determine some of the factors affecting the choice of the tunnel diameter and the area of land required for the terminals, for a proposed Channel Tunnel. The report describes the experiments conducted to assess pedestrian mobility in the trains. The aim was to consider the practicability of pedestrian movement to toilet and possible vending facilities and movements in emergency situations. (Author)
